The Evangelical Union Congregational Church was founded on 9 December 1837.
Its first premises was a hut in Princes Street.
The first Minister was appointed in 1838. The hut became too small so the Church
moved to a larger hall in Glasgow Street. A purpose-built Church was constructed
in Bute Place and opened on 15 July 1860.
This served the congregation for over forty years. Construction of the Glasgow
Street Church started on 27 October 1902, the memorial stone was laid on 21
February 1903 and it was dedicated on 16 December 1903. The Church was built
in the playground of the first infant school in Ardrossan, known as the Penny
School, which is now the Church
Hall.

on 12 December 2010.
